Call of Duty 7: Black OPs
This game is hella laggy. Had fun playing the first week, not that much lag, but now it really is laggy, I can shoot a whole clip directly on someone's back and not get a single hit marker.. The knife is pretty much the only thing that really works for me right now, and even then it often doesn't kill the enemy. This game is unplayable due to lag. I might go back to mw2, had a lot of fun for the whole time I played it and almost never had lag on it. Mind you, this is all on Xbox360. I guess on PS3 it wouldn't even connect to anyone on the matchmaking, seeing as all the people I know around here replaced their PS3 for 360s because of connection issues with every single game.

Apparently Minis have a pretty bad gas mileage.

Commuting
Lol, meh, costs me less to use my car than the buses. Takes much less time and is $35/month compared to the $65/month the bus passes are. Anyway, the city I live in never has a lot of traffic, even on rush hour. I do live 5 hours away from my parents though.

Im buying a new PC
If I were you I'd stay away from Dell. As you may have seen with your computer, older Dell were very good computers, but for the last few years, they've been having a high failure rate, and they break easily. That's the price of having good service: very cheap parts in the computer. The best choice and usually the less expensive one is getting parts and building the computer, but in your case it would probably be someone in a computer shop. I can check for computers if you like or parts if you decide so. Do you live in the US?

Commuting
5 minutes between my appartment and work. I live uptown in the city I live in. I have a Toyota Echo 2002, which means $35/month in fuel. It has a mileage of 279,000 KM and had 2 accidents, but still runs like a new car. I still have to put 200$ in it for the hand break and the clutch is overdue to be changed (still the original one) but I'm probably not changing it until the car can't go forward. If I'm able to pay my student load by next summer, I'll be getting a brand new Mitsubishi Lancer.

New tv questions
Any HDMI cable should be good, I have not noticed a difference between expensive HDMI cable vs $10 HDMI cable. If your TV is a good quality TV, most of the time they have these white and red outputs. You can't use an Input to output. Unless you do mean Output from the netbook. In which case, if you have a good HDTV, it should have a VGA input, I haven't seen one without it yet. Most graphics cards for computers comes with at least an HDMI output now, so you won't even have to worry about DVI to HDMI, but the adaptor is only something like $5. I'm currently using one of those adapters on one of my computer screens, and DVI and HDMI are pretty much the same thing.

Computer Upgrade
What are the concerns? I would like to know before I start; I may try on a virtual box first. I've never actually done it before. It just seems like their would be a lot of crap from the previous install that is just not necessary anymore. Doh! Don;t comment if you have no idea. OS thats are designed to do upgrade installs purposefully swap out old files for new one by one; then add in the new features and remove the unncessary ones Maybe, but there are some bugs from the previous OS that still sometimes slips through. Thats not due to the upgrade though; thats due to the bug still being in the new os. Then explain to me how someone can upgrade using a specific dvd and have the bug from the previous OS come back, and then formatting and doing a clean install with the SAME dvd and not having the bug anymore?

To get the mic to work, you have to plug the second wire to the controller.

Check my build?
Floppy drives? You want one? Unfortunately, they don't exist in computers anymore. Especially with the fact that we have USB keys now.

Limewire shut down
There are still people like me. I'm a b, but used to be an a. I used to download when I was a student and didn't have money, but now that I'm out of college and have a job, I can actually afford my music. Which is why I prefer staying on the legal side and not download illegally. I will often argue against pirating, but I just can't be bothered to do it on the internet like here because it's not going to end up at something.

iTrip

Limewire shut down
You're a bit behind on that statement. Where I live, not many people even have computers, but those who have and that are completely computer illiterate thinks it's ok to download music and movies. Meh, yesterday was the last time I bought an album before downloading and listening to it first. I bought the latest album by Disturbed, and even if I still think they're a very good band, that album just isn't as good as the others, the songs are too much alike on that one.
